    Hi tiger,

    Yeah it should be. This is code that sets the colour of a selected cell to orange

    With Selection.Interior
    .ColorIndex = 44
    .Pattern = xlSolid
    .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    End With

    It includes the pattern. To make it easier make sure the pattern is consistant for all the cells. As you loop over the cells, or access a cell, look at the Interior.ColorIndex property.

    You'll need to work out what colour has what colour index though. there are a few contants you can use vbBlack and vbWhite.
